Deutsche Bank today announced that Samuel (Sam) Kim has been appointed Global Head of Mergers & Acquisitions, effective June 1, 2025, taking over from Alison Harding-Jones who was promoted to Global Head of O&A and Co-Head of the Investment Bank at Deutsche Bank in April 2025.
A native New Yorker, Sam will be based in New York and report to Alison. Alison Harding-Jones said:
“Sam has a proven track record of growing and building businesses, and a wealth of advisory experience, having worked on M&A transactions globally for over thirty years. Since joining Deutsche Bank, Sam has had a broad impact on our franchise, playing a key role in our strong positive momentum. Under his leadership, I am confident we will continue to build our global M&A business as we focus on taking market share, working on both large and cross-border transactions.”
